Our discussion was about attitudes among evangelicals after opposing op-eds in Christianity Today and Christian Post about our current political mess. Despite what the title says, Malachi and I did NOT debate but rather simply answered questions honestly and respectfully towards each other and hopefully everyone discussed.

Unfortunately, the entire interview had to be edited for time so a good bit of content was cut out . . . SO . . .

Please, Please, PLEASE listen to the recording right beneath this paragraph of my FULL answer to the final question asked. It is only 1:35 long, and it is the content I most wanted to be included. Most of it was cut. It is my most personal and pastoral response, and I think most would consider a key question on this particular topic.

FINAL QUESTION: “Does the Christianity Today editorial feel like a turning point to you?”

•Questions 4 and 5: “Setting aside the impeachment process and the politics, how do you think about — as a pastor — someone whose job it is I would think to uphold a certain moral standard, how to talk about that?”….and after the pause…”How did Jesus handle ‘tax collectors and sinners,’ did he just look the other way from their immorality?”
